Re: Configuration problem ????
Here's what I googled out of the net:
http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.net/JarUrl.html
So you can do:
URL mycfg = new URL(jar:file:/C:/Temp/my.jar!/myconfig.xml);
InputStream in = mycfg.openStream();
try {
new Options(in);
} finally {
in.close()
}
In your config file:
font metrics-file=jar:file:/C:/Temp/my.jar!/rs_song.xml
embed-file=jar:file:/C:/Temp/my.jar!/rs_song.ttf kerning=yes
Untested but it should work if you have a recent FOP version (0.20.5rc
or later).
You can probably also set the fontBaseDir value so you don't have to
change the myconfig.xml file:
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put(fontBaseDir,
jar:file:/C:/Temp/my.jar!/);
or:
configuration
entry
keyfontBaseDir/key
valuejar:file:/C:/Temp/my.jar!//value
/entry
I hope this helps.

Re: Configuration problem ????
Hello Jerimias,
Thanks for you help.
But if I want to do as following, I think it can't use that solution.
In pdf-util.jar contains the following file structures:
META-INF/
my/
/test/
/GenPDF.class
/myconfig.xml
/rs_song.xml
/rs_song.ttf
And I will get the InputStream for myconfig.xml with the following
statement:
InputStream is = GenPDF.class.getResourceAsStream(myconfig.xml);
And, now, I don't know how I can define the myconfig.xml to use the
rs_song.xml and rs_song.ttf ??
Please help me.
Best regards,
Eric

PrintStarter.PrintRenderer printing issues with Unix
Has anyone had issues with using the code from PrintStarter.PrintRenderer when running on Solaris (or any *nix platform)? I've taken the code from that class and have modified it to use the JDK 1.4 Print Services API and the resulting application works well on Windows, providing the ability to print dynamically generated PDFs to a printer that is determined at runtime. However, the same application on Solaris causes printer errors and seems to hang. I don't believe the problem lies with FOP, as the code works on Win32 platforms. More likely, the AWT print subsystem is blame. However, I thought that maybe someone might have run into this problem using FOP in the past and may have some advice on how to troubleshoot it. One last thing, as our Solaris boxes do not have default printers, I haven't been able to test using the non-Print Services approach of printing straight to the default printer (thus eliminating the Print Services API as the culprit). However, I expect that, since the approach is the same (and the code mostly identical), that would also fail.

Re: Configuration problem ????
What you want to do is a bit tricky. Try the following: Instead of ...getResourceAsStream(myconfig.xml) try: URL cfgUrl = ...getResource(myconfig.xml); String baseURL = cfgURL.toExternalForm(); ...then snip the myconfig.xml part from the URL and set it as fontBaseDir. Maybe that could solve the problem. If that doesn't work you need to change FOP to do what you want. There's some code in FOP (see SingleByteFont) that enables you to read the embeddable font file using getResource. This is triggered by an embed element in the metrics XML (See FontReader). But I'm pretty sure there's so such mechanism for the metrics file so I think the whole thing is pretty useless. If you have to change FOP I suggest you start with the URLBuilder class which could be a good starting point to resolve URLs. The redesigned FOP will have better mechanisms to do that but that's future talk. Good luck!

Font encoding types
Our user's printer/acrobatreader crashing problems have been corrected by switching to encoding the fonts in the WinAnsi format. The downside of this is the increased filesize since the entire font is being embedded. This is compounded with the 200K+ to embed the Helvetica font since for some reason too many users get error messages it's missing if it's not embedded. However, the former process before FOP was introduced into the mix did an embedded subset without the same problems we have with the files produced from FOP. The difference I've noted is that FOP uses an encoding type of 'Identity-H' and the working files use an encoding type of 'Custom'. The working files were produced out of Quark. Most of the error messages with the 'Identity-H' files are of the invalid CMAP variety. What's the difference and is there any workaround? Michael Teator[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Font encoding types
What error messages and who issues them? TrueType embedding is currently working fine for many users. It has, however, a little deficiency: It lacks the ability to generate an appropriate ToUnicode CMap. Normally, that means that embedded TrueType fonts will get correctly displayed in AcrobatReader but you cannot copy/paste text from the PDF displayed in AcrobatReader because of the missing ToUnicode CMap. I'm still on the way to become a font-pro but: Identity-H simply maps 1:1 from Unicode to CID (character identifier). Quark probably takes a different approach and numbers the used subset of characters from 0 to n (where n is the number of glyphs in the subset). Therefore, they most probably create a special CMap to encode the text to the correct glyphs. A workaround is difficult to come up with at the moment. I wonder what kind of error messages you get. If it's the missing ToUnicode CMap that causing the problems, then it's probably a matter of implementing support for them.

The invalid cmap error is issued by the postscript printer (it prints out one of the 'offending command' pages. I'm attempting to find my notes with the exact text.)

Re: XSL/PDF
Hmm... Calling Response.setContentType(String) shouldn't cause the servlet container to re-execute a call to ActionServlet.doGet(...); have you determined why this is occuring? Fortunately, you have options if you cannot find a solution. Here are some: (1) Create a servlet that generates the PDF. Forward to the servlet in your Action class. (2) Create the same servlet mentioned above and call it directly, bypassing Struts. (3) Generate the PDF within the Action class, and instead of returning it as the contents of the HTTP Response, save the PDF to the file system and return an HTTP redirect to the PDF.
